we may remember a few years ago, when jesse jackson talked about being in black neighborhoods and hearing footsteps behind him and looking over and looking behind himself and seeing a white person and having more comfort. so i think the presidential has not dealt adequately with the fact that there is a problem in the black community. the black community has to take some responsibility for addressing those problems. i think it's time to have a national conversation on race that's not politically correct, that allows all of us, white, black, brown, red, to get off our chest the things that are affecting our racial conversation. we will never move ahead until blacks girn to take responsibility and whites begin to express their concerns. >>brown: jonathan turley, you talked on monday about the perception of the american justice system the stand your ground. what do you think about hearing from the president? >> i think there is much in his remarks that are quite touching, quite moving. the one thing the president can't say is i really can't do anything about. but in reality that is the case.
